Nightfall Chapter 72: The dawn here is quiet

The main cavalry of the royal court was defeated, and many tribes no longer followed his footsteps and scattered around on the grassland. They would surely become prisoners of the Tang army cavalry, and they might even be picked up by those dirty horse thieves.

It scared him.

I became the king of the whole world immediately before, and the next moment I was shot through my cheeks by a dark arrow on the way to the throne, blood flowed, and it was ugly-no matter who it is, it is difficult to accept this Fact-his confidence and ambition were crushed together, and the broken pieces could not be broken.

It scared him.

The thing that scared him the most was that when he watched tens of thousands of wild horses stepping in the morning glow and watching those magical things happen before his eyes, he realized that the high spirits of these years, the ambition of the Central Plains horses, is actually a scam. ——This is the bureau of the Academy, the bureau of that person.

Several years ago, during the peace talks between Xiling Temple and Tang State, the Golden Tent King Court got the most benefit from it. Whether it was cede to the late plains or handed over the war horse, it seemed that it was wrapped around Tang State’s neck. Suo-now it seems that this is Tang Guo's move to show weakness and induce Wang Ting to risk his clan going south.

"Ningque, Ningque, Ningque..."

He recited the name silently, many times, over and over.

He doesn't understand—this game in the academy is actually very risky. If there are some problems, the prairie cavalry can swipe the whip south and sweep the Central Plains, so why did the academy do this?

In addition to the extermination of the Golden Account, what purpose is worthy of Tang Guo's risk?

When did the college become so cold-blooded?

That Mr. Thirteen named Ning Que, what is the deep hatred between him and himself?

Shan Yu thought for a long time. The mood gradually calmed down.

He has great talents and general plans. Although he was defeated by the Tang people outside the valley, he has even seen the true picture of the abyss of destruction, but he is a great man after all, how can he be willing?

He became calm again and decided to take an adventure.

Since the people of Tang Dynasty can set up a bureau, they can endure three years in secret, and they can take extraordinary risks and become unworldly achievements.

Why can't he take risks, why can't he succeed?

He believes. Changshengtian did not abandon himself.

It didn't take long. The respected old man in the clan, Ada, General Loeb, and the high priest as the representative of the national division all came to his room and saw Shan Yu's silent back facing the sand table.

Shan Yu pointed to an inconspicuous small city on the sand table and said calmly: "I know that many people in the Tang Dynasty and the tribe thought this war was over. The battle that day was a decisive battle. But I don't think so. Here It is the Tucheng under our feet and the decisive battlefield I chose."

No one understood what he meant. Wang Ting was far from Tang Guo's opponent. Even if you want to fight desperately to the death, how can the opponent give yourself a chance, in other words, where does the royal court come from?

"The Tang people...or the purpose of the academy is to destroy the tribe. They want to kill us all. Our goal now is to escape the pursuit of the Tang people and return to our hometown."

"We have no food."

"There are some in the Walled City of Seven, I have sent Su Yong to adjust."

"Those food and grass are not enough to support us back."

"Hundreds of thousands of people are naturally not enough, but if only 30,000 people go, it is still enough."

"The Tang people will always follow us."

"So we need a victory, a decisive victory that has messed up the Chinese people. Only in that situation can we keep the tribe’s last flame."

Shan Yu looked at the flat field on the sand table and the seven cities above that echoed in the distance. After a moment of silence, he said: "Xu Chi wants to kill us all, so he can only gather troops and push northward. The formation cannot be made too thick. If 10,000 Duoer rides to break through the mid-belly line and reach Beijing Daying, or even further south... Do you say that Tang Guo will not be turbulent? How will the academy react?"

General Loeb said: "The main force of the Tang army will arrive tomorrow morning. It is impossible for Xu Chi to make such a mistake."

"The most adept general in the world, of course, does not make this kind of mistake, but that was before...just like this king never made the mistake of advancing all the soldiers before."

Shan Yu shook his head and said: "I didn't see through the bureau set by the academy. Xu Chi had to follow the academy's route, because the academy wanted all of us to die, so he could only do so." /

The room was silent and everyone felt wrong: Shan Yu’s decision was not a risk, it was a crazy gambling—no, not even a gambling—it’s more like turning back and shouting angrily before the abyss of despair, Even if Xu Chi really put Tang Jun's formation into the easiest line to penetrate, even if Duoerqi could really break through to the south, it would not be able to change the whole situation.

Ada's eyes brightened, and he fully understood what Shan Yu meant. Shan Yu didn't want to win at all, he just wanted to take away more than 20,000 Jingqi, then lost the war, but failed to make Tang Guo do as he wished, after recuperating, Daomen stabilized in the south, or can win the whole world again.

After a moment of silence, Loeb said, "I'll go."

No one fights with him, because this is not a battle exploit, nor a martyrdom, but a cold reality. Neither Ah Da nor the priests are generals who can command a large number of cavalry.

The high priest said: "Master of the National Normal University will join us to **** Shan back to the original."

Ada didn’t say anything. He knew the role he was going to play. When that Duoer broke through the Tang Army’s defenses and entered the southern grasslands and even burned, killed, looted and looted near the northern camp, the Tang Army would use The fastest speed to chase down Shan Yu's Wang Court-the fastest speed requires the shortest distance, and the shortest distance is a straight line. This seems to be the truth from the academy.

Wang Ting wants to return from Weicheng to the north, so the Tang people will pursue it from Weicheng.

What he has to do is to stay on the only street in Weicheng.

Ada bowed in salute to Shan Yu, turned to leave, walked to the street, pushed a dusty old shop away, sat down at the table, and did not leave.

The rest of the people all left the room one after another, preparing to escape and go south.

After the teacher learned about Shan Yu’s plan, he naturally made corresponding arrangements.

People go to the house to be empty. Just turn out the window. Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, from those warm and loving brilliance, it seemed to have gained some power.

After Weicheng was slaughtered, most of the houses were unable to live in. The prairie people were also used to living in tents outside the city. The place where he lives today is a small courtyard in a relatively quiet place.

He doesn't know who this small courtyard once belonged to, or who once belonged to Weicheng, so he doesn't know. Why did that person have to kill him-if let him know that Changshengtian also lived here for many years. Or his ideas will be more different.

……

……

The war that took place on the grasslands beyond the valley river was the most spectacular and tragic cavalry war in the entire millennium since Tang Guo defeated the Huangren.

The number of cavalry of the Golden Account King Court participating in this war is more than that of the Tang Army. Moreover, the Tang Army cavalry rarely conducted cavalry training in these years. So it stands to reason. Wang Ting had the upper hand, but Tang Jun won the final victory, especially before the two ambushes of the Zhenbei Army appeared. The cavalry of the Pioneer Camp abruptly blocked the royal cavalry who came in like a tide. That was because the Tang Army had a more sigh of relief than the royal cavalry.

That's aggressiveness—Tang Jun has this tone, and the wild horses under them also have this tone. In the spring breeze of the grassland, Tang Jun wielded a simple knife and silently chopped down one enemy after another while the wild horses stepped on Wildflowers and grass clippings rushed wildly, learning the appearance of Tang Jun, embarrassing the prairie horses in the royal court.

The Battle of the Valley River is destined to remain on the magnificent historical picture. In hindsight, this cavalry war may not be regarded as the war of the whole world, but it is definitely the most important war.

After the victory in this war, even if the Golden Tent King Court still has the power to fight again, there is no way to pose any threat to the foundation of the Tang State. To put it more intuitively, the Golden Tent King Court after that day will be considered Exerting all the strength, there is no way to destroy the Tang state.

For the entire world, it is more important that Tang Guo has solved the serious problems that have been in the north for many years. Now the monarchs in Chang'an can invest all their spirit and resources in the south. If they can grab the door to resolve internal disputes Previously set, Momoyama will face unimaginable pressure.

A few days later, Situ Yilan brought the cavalry from the Pioneer Camp to the front line of the Seven Walled City. At this time, she and all the Tang army had confirmed the victory, but they wanted to win even greater victory.

During this period, the guards of the Peking Camp and a certain unit of the Western Army who had been quietly transferred from Congling to here six months ago struggled with heavy sacrifices, biting the golden tent cavalry like a wolf, and cruelly Ruthlessly, even if they were bleeding all over, they refused to let go. The king's cavalry, who had always been known for their agility and mobility, was slowed down in their northward retreat. They only entered the front line of the Seven Fortresses yesterday and were overtaken by the main force of the Tang army.

Under such circumstances, the prairie cavalry who retreated to the seven city walls did not dare to leave the city and march towards the grassland, because that was tantamount to handing their backs to the terrifying Tang people--even in Weicheng. The camped Duoerqi didn't dare to do this-it would inevitably mean destruction.

More than one hundred thousand remaining prairie cavalry, with the help of the Seven Castles, tried to stabilize the situation temporarily. After a confrontation, they found time to retreat, escaped from Tang Jun’s pursuit, and fled into the depths of the prairie.

However, those tribes who are still holding the fluke mentality do not know that Shan Yu has made the cold-blooded and only correct decision. He will use these tribal cavalry to attract the main force of the Tang army, try to thin the formation of the Tang army, and then Send another 10,000 elite Doer rides, and unexpectedly go south again!

These arrangements will kill more than 100,000 prairie cavalry. If all goes well, you can get 20,000 Duoer cavalry and Shan Yu to successfully escape back to the depths of the prairie.

This kind of exchange is cruel, and it seems to suffer, but it must be done. Now that the Tang Army has a war horse, it is no longer so easy for the Wang Ting cavalry to withdraw to the grassland, especially now that the Tang Army is obviously crazy, more like a terrifying wolf pack than the grassland people, if you let Tang Jun focus on chasing, Wang Ting The cavalry didn't dare to turn around to intercept, I was afraid that if they could not get out of three hundred miles, the whole army would be destroyed!

While Shan Yu was making the final preparations, Tang Jun surrounded the Seven Castles-it is not accurate to say that the encirclement is not accurate, because the northern grassland seems vast and you can enter at any time-that is the way to survive, it was Tang Jun left to the king The way for the cavalry to survive is also a real dead end.

The main cavalry force of the Zhenbei Army formed a confrontation with the cavalry of the various tribes in the Seven Castles, but this situation did not last longer. Without any warning, the battle between the two sides began again violently, as if fighting indefinitely, reaping the lives of soldiers from both sides, and fighting everywhere.

Three days later, Wang Qi spread out, smoke and dust filled the sky, and the Tang Army Zhongjun Zhang also came to the south of Weicheng.

General Xu Chi, General of Datang Town, finally came to the forefront. He was not late, as long as he could see the golden account annihilated before the end of the war. Then it's not late.

It is surprising. Neither Xu Chi nor Shan Yu in Weicheng gave any direct orders to this **** battle on hundreds of fronts across the north of the mainland. They just watched silently as the cavalry kept rushing and dying. Then he replenished his troops towards the remaining city walls of Kaiping.

This war was originally a national war. It is impossible to finish it in a day. Before the fight is over, it is impossible to have a day to breathe, only you and me can live. This is the truth.

So Xu Chi doesn’t care, Shan Yu doesn’t care, just throwing each other's sons into the battlefield, let them kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy, especially for Tang Jun, they have already won the victory, they must do their best There may be more vigorous forces that can kill and wound the enemy. Since we want to destroy the nation and the country, this is also the true meaning.

A few simple passages are far from describing the **** battle that took place on the front line of the Seven Fortresses, nor the pressure faced by the remnants of the Golden Horde and the sacrifices made by the Tang army. People only need to remember that in the siege of just a few days, the number of people who died was almost beyond the number of people on the valley river plain that day.

Different from Kaiping and Qucheng, Weicheng, which was supposed to be the real main battlefield, seemed very quiet. There was no **** and brutal cavalry charge, and even the sound of horses' hoofs could not be heard.

The Golden Tent King's Court is here, and the Tang Army's Central Army Tent is here, but the battle seems to be far away from here.

Xu Chi looked at the gray and plain Tucheng in the telescope, frowned slightly and was silent.

"The one who can really fight is 30,000 Duoerqi."

A staff officer said in a puzzled way: "According to calculations, there are at least 10,000 riders around Weicheng. Is Shan Yu really prepared to defend the city?"

Weicheng is the smallest Tucheng in the Seven Walled Villages. Not to mention that the prairie people are not good at guarding the city. This small Tucheng can't accommodate 20,000 cavalry at all. Now those Duoerqi are all in the grassland north of the city Set up camp, but didn't take advantage of the arrival of Tang Jun to withdraw, are you ready to fight to the death here?

Xu Chi looked at the Tucheng and suddenly said: "They are going south again."

The officers in the Chinese military tent raised their heads after hearing this sentence, very surprised.

Having just experienced such a tragic failure, do those prairie people dare to go south? Even if Duoerqi breaks through the defense line of the army, what can he do after entering Xiangwanyuan? Do they still dare to go to Chang'an City?

Suddenly, someone realized the problem.

"The defense of the Central Military Account is too weak, and General Situ should be assisted immediately!"

A staff officer said anxiously: "Otherwise, I really let Doer ride over. The safety of the Chinese military account is a big problem. The most important thing is that once there is chaos, it is really possible to let Shan Yu escape!"

"You don't need to do those unnecessary things." Xu Chi looked at the Tucheng, thinking of the man's promise, and said: "Where do you think those Duoerqi will attack from?"

"To attack around the city is too exhausting, and it is easy to be effectively killed by our crossbow formation. If I am Shan Yu and really want to go south to create chaos, I will definitely choose to walk through the city."

Xu Chi didn't say anything, turned around and walked behind the tent, ready to sleep.

For several days and nights, he did not close his eyes much, indeed he was tired.

As for Shan Yu's deep conspiracy or foresight, amazing determination and courage... Now that he has seen through, naturally there is no need to worry about anything, because someone has promised that there will be no problems.

Xu Chi slept very well this night. When he woke up, the sky was not yet full. It was the darkest time before dawn. He got up to wash, took a bowl of horse milk and drank it, then put on armor and He walked to the slightly higher meadow beside the camp, took off the binoculars from the saddle, and looked at the Tucheng again.

At dawn, the world is quiet.

The gate of Tucheng is closed, there is no light inside, like a ghost town.

Xu Chi knew that only the strongest cavalry would rush out of that city gate later.

He was very calm in front of the soldiers, but he was actually a little worried, otherwise he would not come to observe the enemy in the early morning and wanted to confirm the time of the enemy's attack earlier.

The main cavalry of the Zhenbei Army has been transferred to the battlefields of Kaiping and Qucheng. The Chinese army's account is facing the main account of the Golden Account. When 10,000 Duoer rides through the Tucheng to attack, how to resist?

Xu Chi always thought he could trust that person completely.

But looking at the quiet Tucheng before dawn, he was still a little uneasy.

The Tucheng is not high. The arrow tower on the gate is only three feet away from the ground. When the morning light comes, people with better eyesight can even see the stubborn weeds caught in the loess on the ground.

When Xu Chi looked at Tucheng, someone was also looking at him.

Golden Tent State Division looked at the tent of the Tang Army’s middle military tent in the meadow in the distance, and looked at the grass-eating war horses with their heads down, corresponding to the military information sent back by the king’s cavalry. The old face still did not regain peace. .

The Chinese military account in the Tang Dynasty was very quiet. When you contacted the tragic scenes in the rest of the city and the hard support of the Wang Court cavalry, you knew that Xu Chi had guessed Shan Yu's intentions, so why did he cooperate so?

The national division does not want to estimate that Shanyu’s risky tactics have some chance of success.

Since Wang Ting has been pushed to the abyss by the Tang people, he must struggle a little bit. It is impossible to fall like this. The last choice is the best choice, isn't it?

Yes, he knew that this sentence came from a college.

Xu Chi's confidence probably also comes from the academy.

Since the war started, the academy has not really taken any action.

Those who are really strong have not yet taken action.

In the quiet dawn, the national teacher looked at the sky, waiting for someone to arrive.
